Hi Vincent,

What do you mean by selectivity?  My program ran for 22 minutes
(Using a hash table and alpha-beta pruning with a killer heuristic).
I have used the CM6000 auto-analysis with 10 seconds per move and have
seen it go 10-14 plys deep at times.  It sounds like your program is
also very fast.  Do you mean that you go a few full plys and then
do secondary searches?

It sounds like I would have to improve the speed of my program by
100 to 1000 times to catch up with you fellows.

Larry   :-)
